i was wondering if we could theoretically use a cheaper sensor solution as alternative to the 4k one currently in use with the beta. there are a lot of developers interested, but they would also trade image resolution for the possibility of an open source cam :)

Bertl: For certain "film" isn't the end all, but the native compression of dynamic range was clever and fortuitous, hence why the PWLC emulating that sort of perceptual compression is a logical no-brainer.

Bertl: I actually have a huge bit of respect for the Arri imagers; they have taken the science of the image encode to a whole new level. The precise equal bits per stop is such a great engineering feat.
